Sth Korea consumer agency says some products on foreign e-commerce platforms failed safety tests
Jun 13, 2024 8:51 PM

SEOUL, June 14 (Reuters) - South Korea's consumer safety

agency said on Friday that 27 out of 88 tested products sold on

foreign e-commerce platforms AliExpress, Temu and Qoo10

including children's toys did not meet domestic safety

standards.

The world's fourth-largest e-commerce market has increased

regulatory scrutiny on foreign shopping platforms, with

Alibaba's ( BABA ) AliExpress and PDD Holdings' ( PDD ) signing

an agreement in May to promote product safety.

In May, Korea Consumer Agency began safety tests for

motorcycle helmets, children's toys, colour cosmetics and air

fresheners being sold on the three platforms.

All three platforms have currently blocked the sale of the

problematic products according to the agency's recommendation,

it said.
